My to-go platform is Airbnb. I have strict search requirements so finding the 'perfect' accommodation is not hard. If I feel like I need to cast a wider net, I will search on Booking.com. 

This process can be both random and deliberate at the same time. Each one of the seven countries that I have visited in the last six months had unique reasons for me being there. Everything from wanting to see a 'Wonder of the World' to attending a meetup with friends to wanting to stay in a particular Airbnb. 

I decided to do the unthinkable. I quit my good job, sold off my assets, and gave the rest away. 

With the exception of South Africa, they all have been my favorite for different reasons. If I had to pick one, it would be Sri Lanka. 

Where to go next. It is not always as simple as buying a plane ticket and going. 

I would have established my residence stateside, and officially changed my address with the Department of Motor Vehicles. 

Hands down it is WhatsApp. You can text, phone, and video call for free using this app. 

Sri Lanka, for sure. The food is full of flavor, spice, and usually organic and vegan. 

Probably working through those moments when I wish someone else was around. It does not happen often but it does.
